Spurs' Keldon Johnson wins NBA 6th Man of the Year.

Teammates cite him for his always positive attitude. Presser this afternoon he reveals his Grandfather, who he is very close to, has been battling cancer all year.

Does he go with the Flow?

Things feel into place last night for the Alien to become the face of the NBA.

1st he's eligible is Friday via NBA rules, concussion, who knows.

The sports concussion classes I've done, 10 days minimum. Could be career ending, no idea, see how he responds. According to the protocols I learned, any difficulty with rehab resets back to time zero and start again.

Correct. They now seem to be Team Eriksson.
I want to see them wearing jerseys that say ”shut the fuck up, Oscar!” :lol:
